5. His 'fee fees' are hurt, so he has to somehow show he's a "big" man...Likewise create yet more diversions

from all that is failing in this country. I guess he doesn't care that the majority of MAGA voted for him BECAUSE he promised no more wars (as well as racism and hating Libs, but I digresss

6. Two words: oil and minerals.

He wants to control the region and plunder it.

Or will other countries do so on their behalf?

12. No, and no.

Maduro is very unpopular in Venezuela, its economy is a complete wreck and more than eight million Venezuelans have been forced to flee the country due to political instability, violence, hyperinflation, poverty, hunger, and a lack of access to essential services like food and medicine.

10. Venezuela has the largest amount of oil reserves in the world, more than Saudi Arabia.

"Despite Venezuela’s massive supply of natural resources, the country still struggles economically. Venezuela and Saudi Arabia have populations of comparable size; however, Saudi Arabia’s economy is twice as large. One of the main reasons for this disparity is the accessibility of each country’s oil reserves."

Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in 1976 under Carlos Andres Perez, to control the exploration, production, refining, and export of oil. In 1998, when Chávez came to power (and later Nicolás Maduro), the government's control over the industry increased significantly, forcing out most American oil companies. Trump and his Big Oil friends want to regain control of those oil reserves.
